My first car - Saab 900XS. Only learned to drive earlier this year (finally, at the age of 35) so I'm still driving it. Bit of a culture shock at first after having learnt in a Corsa, but a lovely motor nonetheless and I intend to drive it until it falls to bits!

I think I might win for the oldest.

I bought a 1937 Rover 14 for 40 quid back in the sixties. I had never driven a car, but when it was delivered to me in South Wales I decided to drive it to the local pub to pick up my wife, using my motor cycle skills. Two weeks later on navy leave I drove it to my ma in laws place in Greenhill, where it continued to pollute her driveway for a week or so, and I was driven to sell it NOW, or else. I got 20 for it. Later I bought a brand new Mini 850 for 450 quid. My computer does not have a pound key, sorry!
